The 53-year-old told Elle Decor: 'I'm the kind of
person who would have liked to have lived at the Plaza. I love crystal
chandeliers and gold leaf, velvets and mirrors, Oriental rugs and
marble.

Careful characteristics: The co-op boasts southern views and light and two bedrooms - the second bedroom is currently being used as a dining room

Transformed: The kitchen and bathrooms were re-sized and re-done with marble and stone, and new closets were outfitted aroud the entire apartment

'I love things that are old and glittery, that come with layers
of glamour and past lives. So the moment my husband and I walked into
our apartment for the first time, we knew that this
was it.'

Located on East 9th St, the high floor apartment sits in a
pre-war, 1925 doorman building.

It boasts beautiful southern
views and light, two bedrooms (while the
second bedroom is currently being used as a dining room), one and one-half bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, inlaid wood
flooring, a dramatic sunken living room, and a working wood burning
fireplace.

Roaring 20's to modern day: According to Ms Bushnell, the apartment reeked of late-night parties and
illicit affairs, bathtub gin and jazz from the Twenties; their renovation,she said, kept a bit of that glamour

The book tells the tale of 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw and her life with her family in Connecticut in the 1980s, before an internship with a Manhattan law firm sparks her love affair with New York.

Thought to be the epitome of New York single life, Ms Bushnell married Mr Askegard in 2002, to which her ex-boyfriend Stephen Morris said it was 'Lose-your-independence day' for the writer.

Their marriage broke down after Mr Askegard allegedly had an affair with a Nutcracker co-star 'half her age'.
